Thomas had lived in Claiborne Co., MS, near Hermanville, where he is listed in census data from 1830-1860, and
where in 1850 and 60, he is described as a planter of good circumstance according to the real and personal property data. All of Thomas' fifteen children were born in Claiborne County, MS. In 1866, Thomas
began to buy land in and around Beaureguard, Copiah Co., MS. Much of this land was placed in his then five year old son Gabriel's name instead of in his own. In 1872, Thomas, wife Lydia, son Gabriel and
